PICTURE, QUOTE, MOVIE #83


1.  What movie is the picture from?

2.  What movie is this quote from?

“He better be worth it. He better go home and cure a disease, or invent a longer-lasting light bulb.”


3.  What movie is this?


  It is based on the acclaimed novel by James Jones .  The film marked the return of its legendary director after a twenty year hiatus.  Many A-list actors were interested in being directed by him in whatever movie he made his comeback with.  In fact, several major actors worked on the movie and were left on the cutting room floor ( e.g. Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Sheen, Gary Oldman ).  The movie did not do well at the box office, but did garner seven Oscar nominations ( including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Cinematography ).  It won none.
